Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Becky has 3 7/12 cups of pecans. She needs 1 1/5 cups for her special dressing and 1 4/5 cups for a pie. What is the difference between the number of cups needed and the available cups?

Becky has 3 7/12 cups of pecans = 43 / 12 cups.

Now the number of cups needed for special dressing and for pie will be

1 1/5 + 1 4/5

= 6 / 5 + 9 / 5

= 15 / 5

= 3

Now the difference between number of cups needed and available cups will be 43 / 12 - 3

           = 43 - 36 / 12

           =  7 / 12
